Photos from my ride (many giant pics inside)

I decided to take a different course than I planned yesterday....it was still a nice long ride though. I rode from St. Pete, over the friendship brdige into tampa, and all the way up Bayshore to the next bridge, then went back home, taking the backroads near Wheedon Island.

These are the better pics from the trip. I was only taking quick snapshots, so I wasn't taking the time to get good shots, so bear with the crappiness

These are some shots from St.Pete, looking upon the waters near Wheedon Island. I actually live about 2.5mi south of there.

This is near the top of the "crest" of the friendship bridge, the wood things in the water you see are guides for ships.

This is a shot of Bayshore Blvd....I love the wide sidewalk here...it's perfect for a nice leisurely stroll.

An absolutely gorgeous home I saw on the way up Bayshore...I dream of a home like this.

Some rocks protruding from the water...I thought it looked pretty cool.
My beloved Talus! (smooch smooch)
Now give each photo a good look, you'll notice the shadows the two buildings in the first pic are laying upon the water!
on the way home....who said Florida didn't have any climbs?
On the way down from that incline, you need to be careful, it's very easy to break 40mph in seconds, even on a mountain bike.
A lone fisherman...such a peaceful sight.

Nice ride. I have done that trip many times when I lived in Tampa on Dale Mabry. Too many 'bladers' on the Bayshore though. But it is a ride that is hard to beat anywhere in the country. Live in Riverview now, with a big ass mortgage, so more work and less ridin' right now. enjoyed the pics, Thanks !

LOL...I used to live over there and live in Clearwater now. Technically, my address said Gibsonton, but I always told them "South Brandon"....would never admit I lived in Gibsonton.

That is too funny! I actually live in a new subdivision off Symmes and 301. So if I head west and go to the other side of I-75, I end up in Gibsonton. The place is a dump! No wonder the circus geeks and carnies all live there. [ I hope your not one!] I would never claim to be from anywhere near there! No offense to you "Pinellas Parkers" over there in St. Pete, but Pinellas Park is next in line for the good ol' boy award.

I know....my apartment complex is like Jerry Springer live....every single day.

The current drama is some woman who chases her man dow yelling at him to go on and hit her, because she will hit him if he tries to get into his car. This is a regular occurance, same bat-time, same bat-channel.

It was better than the bloody murder chick.....she kept pounding on people's doors screaming as if a killer was after her. Turns out her boyfriend has a habit of locking her out of his apartment when he's sick of her crap. Well, one day she finally manages to get the cops called on her....then she points to his place and screams that he's got a pound of pot in there....he did That's great....I now have a very irritating family next door thanks to that....at least he was super mellow.

We also had the guy that got gang-beat by some women when they discovered he was two-timing them....he was blubbering like a little punk too "please don't hurt me, but but but I love youuuu!".....just take the beating like a man already.

Oh, and the white guy downstairs that was arrguing with his girlfriend, and started calling her "*****" (she's white, WTF?)....well this rather large black guy on the floor got pissed off at it and knocked him the *bleep* out. I wasn't the only one laughing hard on that one....some folks watching from another building were too!

The place we lived on Dale Mabry was all Drama, all Night! I am sure glad I saved and bought my own place. Bought in a nice neighborhood and all houses are new, but wouldn't you know it that our next door neighbors are striaght up hillbillies from P. Park and brought there three kids, 4 dogs, 2 harleys, and attitudes with them! I can never win.

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

Sounds like good old American entertainment!
